Abstract

A gate dielectric process was developed by remote plasma nitridation of N2O oxides with rapid thermal NO annealing. Superior interface properties, reduced leakage current and improved reliability was shown by the films. The stress induced leakage current (SILC) was shown as a function of stress time under constant voltage stress of 2.6 V in inversion mode and stress temperature of 160°C.
